Amelia is a very popular name for babies here in Poland too, although it currently seems to be slowly going down in popularity after having been very trendy earlier during 21st century. Last year (2022) it was #14, with 3143 baby girls having been given this name. It was also the 43rd most popular middle name, with 423 baby girls who have received the middle name Amelia last year. As of January this year, it has been the 58th most common name for women in Poland, with 12159 bearers. It's also been the 91st most common middle name with 16937 bearers.

I'm not sure if it's actually true, but I've heard that this name's popularity was boosted by two TV characters - one Amelia from a popular Polish series called "Na Dobre I na Złe" (For Good and for Bad), and the other Amelie from the famous French film of the same name. - Like I said I don't know if that's true and don't even remember where I read that or who told me about it, but it seems reasonable. Regardless though, I think it would have become trendy anyways, because soft, vowel-rich, easily nickname-able names have been popular with Polish names for quite a while. Oh yeah and the -ia ending. The similar-sounding Emilia is well-liked for babies too.

I honestly don't think I know any Amelia older than 20-ish and most of those that I know or have heard of are teenagers, personally I perceive it very much as a late gen Z name.

I'm an Amelia, born 31 years ago, when this name was very much out of fashion. I was named after a great grandmother, whom I'm honored to carry the name on for.

The 90's were not a nice time to bear the name, so I am very shocked to know that all the brats who made fun of my name are now naming their own children after me. :D LMAO! Proof that Amelias are unforgettable and mysterious. My family gave me the nickname of Ammie, pronounced AEHH-miii, and I quite love it.

To all the new Amelias, keep up the tradition of being unapologetically unique. There are some fine and fierce women who bore the name before you!

Milly/Millie can be used as a nickname.

In 2018, 2 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Amelia who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 559th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

Hello, I'm an Amelia and have always hated my name. (This is just my experience but I think it may be helpful to listen to someone with the name). It may sound elegant, fancy, or unique but now it is very popular and all I can feel is sad for all the new kids stuck with the name Amelia. I've been called Mimi for most of my life and it's no better, but I haven't seen any other nicknames that are an improvement. I just think Amelia has felt awkward and chunky as a name. And being called Amelia Earhart or Amelia Bedilia was no picnic either. I do plan on changing my name in the future.

This name is also used in Poland. (Or rather abused, really. Call "Amelia" at a Polish playground and half of the girls will turn their heads, then call "Oliwia" and there are hardly any girls left.) [noted -ed]

This is a Polish variant, too.

It´s also the Czech and Slovak form.
